sup nekoz. This is my thread for shout-outs / my EVO log and stuff.
EVO was a blast this year, thanks especially to the fact that this year I was actually in the same hotel as all the other gamers! So, let’s get it started.
MY EVO LOG:
THURSDAY, ARRIVAL DAY.
60 minute flight with 12 renocrew members = dopest shit on the earth. We were owning up on that SkyMall catalogue when we had to land and get the fuck outta the plane. After melting into my shirt for 20 minutes outside in Vegas death-weather, Renocrew split into 3 parties from the airport, since we couldn’t get the shuttle. After getting a rental car and going inside, I felt like I had fell into a huge puddle of water, it was so hot and muggy outside. :(~ Not good weather for nekoz, lemme tell you.
I got a shower, freshened up and walked around trying to find some people to hang out with, only to find that everyone’s a big noob. I end up wandering around and grabbing food to munch on, and I think stuff happened later on but I can’t remember. Klagie met up with us and we hung out in the room, getting some casual in and having some laughs over the insanity that is Campbell’s Kliff. Let’s just say that Nick Campbell and his monkey-Kliff destroyed absolutely everyone with it’s primate howls.
DAY 2:
FRIDAY
Woke up and took a shower, walk down to the main center and fucking a MILLION PERSON LINE IS THERE. EVO’s about an hour late, and I had to work some magic to get inside and stuff. So I snuck in past the crowd and got my badges for everyone and watched some casual / tournament matches. JC met up with Jamarr from Nebraska and challenged him to a money match (a rematch from last year’s in tournament game).
Now, we couldn’t record this match… but if we could, you’d have cried at how awesome this moment was. Mid round, JC throws Jamarr’s Jam into the corner and takes a step back (plant tree), bloodweb. Jamarr blocks low and JC goes overhead -> s.HS -> EXE Beast (FRC) -> c.HS (tree hits) -> TREE LOOP. WHAT THE FUCK!!! Sickest thing I’ve ever seen! 12 hits of madness, and people were like WTF!?
After losing my voice from that, JC won the moneymatch and we resumed recording all of the crazy matches: RF destroying his prelim-pool against boleslaw with nothing but PERFECTS. Seriously, a quadruple perfect. Crazy shit.
Our pools weren’t until later on, and both of the other best players in Reno didn’t make it out of their brackets unfortunately. JC and Nick Campbell made it out in losers, and myself in losers (losing my bracket to KenmastersX). >:O
We finish up the night, but not before Nick Campbell grabs the tripod and makes a make-shift beam-rifle out of it. I guess he saw that our room-mates were Halo 2 kids, and the door was left a crack open. He decides to KICK IN THEIR DOOR WITH THE TRIPOD AND SHOUT “BOOOOOOOOOOM HEADSHOT!” " … Oh, what’s up? I’m your neighbor during EVO. … Oh, you’re a bunch of halo fags." And precedes to run out. The rest of us were crying from laughing so hard, and ended up taping OVER this legendary incident. ;_; FUCK, because that MADE EVO for people!
DAY 3
SATURDAY
Semi-finals didn’t start until 12pm, so I woke up late and grubbed on some turkeyburger madness before hopping down and getting to my bracket. My first match was against CheeseMaster from Cali, only to have it switched to Purrin because of a match-up problem (two people from the same area playing each other first round). I beat Purrin in a somewhat close game, and totally high-fived the universe. My next match was DEF from So.Cal, which was really close aswell (friggin’ tickgrab set-ups >:O), but I prevailed once again. The next person I had to play was the winner between one of my best friends (Scott Lockhart / Spirit Juice) vs. Florida Millia Chetan. He lost to Chetan, and I had to get some revenge, since this millia person had defeated both Scott and JC last year! >:O!! So I pulled out some Slayer madness and won again. ^___^~
Then I had to play the loser between Alex Garvin (florida dizzy) and R.F., and I’m sure you can guess who I played… ;_;* I have no dizzy experience, so I scrubbed out pretty hard against turtle dizzy. x_x; My EVO was over, but I got top 17~24th in the bracket. :O! Wooooo! Not bad! The rest of the day for me was playing games up in the room for a while and relaxing with everyone before watching the shitty T5 + 3S 5v5’s. Should’ve just played #R, I guess…
DAY 4
SUNDAY:
I watched finals all day, from TTT to the end of MvC2 (BEST FINALS EVER), and didn’t give a shit about T5. Met up with some guys and played more #Reload up in the room before heading back down to watch 3S finals. EVO was over, and I decided we needed to wander around outside in the rain before we left EVO. Lemme just say that GVR is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed at, period. Their pool was the dopest thing on earth!
After Slayer sliding all over the place (no joke!), we headed back to the room and slept while Nick Campbell and the guys went and tripod-ed it up in various other areas.
DAY 5:
MONDAY
Man, EVO’s over… everyone’s leaving and is pretty down that they can’t stay in this perpetual arcade gaming awesomness forever. ;; I wish all gamers could live at GVR all year, and just go room to room and play games all night with random people and not give a fuck! That was the most fun I’ve had in a long time! But we left for the airport and went back to Reno, and everyone kinda went their own way. I guess I have to way another 360 days before EVO again. ;;
SHOUT-OUTS
PEOPLE I PRACTICED WITH BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT:

JC aka Rounin. Man, you’ve hella stepped up your game this year. I could not fucking BELIEVE that you threw out the tree loop in the MIDDLE OF A MONEY MATCH WITH JAMAAR. THAT IS THE SICKEST THING OF EVO IMO FOR #R!!!
-
Nick Campbell aka hah coe. Your fucking Halo room door-kick in was the highlight for all non-gaming at EVO. Also, old-manmonkey Kliff made a million people laugh! If only that could’ve been there instead of the anime. Your Axl is a fucking beast now also! You and JC blew me away with how good you did with SO little practice! Great job again qualifying, both of you guys.
Gimme some usagiz.
